Summary

A New York MVD bond is a type of surety bond required by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The bond guarantees that the principal (the person or company obtaining the bond) will comply with all laws and regulations that apply to the activities of the DMV. The bond also guarantees that any fees or fines assessed against the principal will be paid. The bond is purchased by the principal and is held by the DMV as evidence of the principals good faith. The principal must renew the bond on an annual basis in order to remain in compliance. The bond protects the general public from any harm or loss caused by the principals activities and provides financial recourse if the principal fails to comply with the laws and regulations of the DMV.
